I had quite a busy weekend coming up, so I did not know if I would manage to get final post in before the challenge ended, but some persistence saw the skirmisher bases to go with Bataljon Jagers No. 27 featured in my previous post made it over the line.
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From PaulSS: Bataljon Jagers No. 27 Skirmishers - 30pts
Some close up's of the individual bases showing warts and all including what appears to be some terrible mould lines I missed in clean-up.
There were five flank company figures left and a single centre company, so this base is a bit of a mash-up.
Six 28mm foot figures should add a final 30pts to my total.
I feel privileged to get to minion your final post Paul, as it features these gorgeous Dutch-Belgian jagers from the 27th battalion! The Front Rank sculpts are very nice figures and your painting is ace. I am particularly impressed by the highlights and shadows on the trousers, really well done. These skirmishers put the finishing touch on your beautiful unit and are a fitting conclusion to your Challenge I'd say. A great job and 30 final points to you!
Martijn

ReplyDeleteThank you Barks
DeleteYoir Dutch-Belgian jager uniforms are excellent. Even with the help of the camera I don't see any mold lines...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, it's most obvious on the skirmisher on the left in the last picture
DeleteMan oh man Paul, so good. Really crisp and clean style, I wish I could paint this smoothly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dallas, it's taken about 45 years to settle on this style.
